The competition is centred around the translation competition ‘the language Word-a-thon’ where we will invite students from UAE Universities to compete in the translation of segments of a book from Arabic to English. The competition will happen in real time and the competitors will be asked to translate the text in the first 3 hours of the day. An expert panel will be invited to set the criteria for the best translation and review all translated materials on the day and announce the winner of the competition.
